Lenexa advances preliminary development plan for Boutique Retirement Club at Canyon Farms. The city of Lenexa earlier this month approved a preliminary development plan for Boutique Retirement Club at Canyon Farms. The developer plans to build a 139-unit multi-family residential facility for retirement-aged residents, in a facility to be located at 18200 Prairie Star Parkway. It includes a three- and four-story building with several amenities, including a pool, restaurant, bar, exercise room, library, lounge, salon, theatre, worship space and small dog park. The facility will have units with a mixture of one, two and three bedrooms. The developer received a deviation from parking requirements, from 264 to 214 parking stalls, saying the development needs fewer parking spaces for retirees. There is room to add parking on the north side of the project area. The Lenexa council on Nov. 19 unanimously approved the preliminary development plan and rezoning from planned neighborhood office to planned residential high-density.
